The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) is a separate entity from The American Legion that shares the same values. It is composed of spouses, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, granddaughters, grandsons, and brothers, & sisters of American war veterans. Founded in 1919, the ALA is dedicated to serving veterans, military, and their families. After the formation of  the ALA, a number of women's organizations wanted to become the official affiliation of The American Legion. The women who had provided service and support to the soldiers fighting in World War One wanted to continue to do so. After careful consideration, the committee agreed that a new organization should be made up of the women most closely associated with the men of the Legion, and that these women would serve with the Legion, in peace as they had in war.

​

The ALA is open to the spouse, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, and any step-relatives of a member. By joining, you’ll be part of a legacy of service, patriotism, and compassion, and make a lasting difference for those who have sacrificed for our country. Together, we can continue building stronger communities and honoring our veterans. Easy to become a member, just click banner below:
